Is it too soon to share another awesomely creative piece of furniture? No way! This one-of-a-kind insectoid armoire is called the BUG and it was designed Latvian designer Janis Straupe of True Latvia. Full of customizable shelves, drawers, cubbies and even a few secret compartments, it’s a beautifully functional piece of furniture as well as an amazing work of art.
you leant down and — holy shit! — kissed her squarely on the mouth
[image description: a digital illustration of harrowhark nonagesimus and ianthe tridentarius from the locked tomb series. the illustration shows harrow kissing ianthe, both with eyes wide and uncomfortable expressions. an x-ray view reveals their jaws and harrow’s tongue touching ianthe’s. the illustration is labelled like an anatomical diagram and titled “fig. 1.” the labels are:
i. [one of harrow’s hands on ianthe’s face]: Your thumbs pressed up against the warm flesh that skinnedher ramus and your other fingers butterflied over her cheeks.
ii. [harrow’s other hand on ianthe’s face]: Yourmetacarpus nudged up against the body of the mandible.
iii. [a black starburst overlaid over the back of ianthe’s head]: She was a black hole to you, a null, an empty, overradiant space, unreadable.
iv. [the tip of harrow’s tongue on ianthe’s]: When you pressed the tip of your tongue to her tongue she made a small, tight, half-wounded sound.]
“He has to fund the Justice League. They often have a space program.”
“But couldn’t he do more good if he just invested-”
“The Earth is routinely invaded by aliens, gods, and the forces of an extraterrestrial god of tyranny.”
He has, like, three charitable organizations he funds, named after his father, his mother, and Alfred.
Between both Bruce and Batman’s contributions, Gotham should be a better city than it is, and the only reason it isn’t is DC Editorial Mandate that basically says Gotham has to get worse and worse and worse or there’s no Batman stories they can tell (and, obviously, they have no other characters besides Batman).
There’s a reason Batman thinks the city is literally cursed.
I want to see Bruce Wayne go off
“Oh, oh, just charity my way out of dealing with the Penguin, a living, breathing 19th century Marxist’s cartoon of the bourgeoisie? Just fund anti-Clayface measures? Crack down on corporations who put out shapeshifting cosmetics? What socio-economic pressures turn botonists into actual fucking dryads?! What inspires anti-animal terrorism? THAT’S NOT EVEN A REAL KIND OF ECO-FASCISM!”
For the record, Gotham is canonically curse, because it sits on some sort of evil swamp. I think.
There are like, half a dozen curses. The Lazarus Pits are leaching into the water, Slaughter Swamp is an unconnected body of water a few miles outside of the city that also ressurects people (see Solomon Grundy), the Bat-demon Barbatos and his followers (the Court of Owls) have been fucking up the city psychically and financially, the malevolent influence of the warlock Doctor Gotham’s tomb in the center of the city, the madness hypersigil of Amadeus Arkham (in Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth), there were several outposts of subterraneans and aliens beneath the city during the Silver Age, constant chemical warfare that makes it the equivalent of a WWI trench managed by MK-ULTRA, it’s in New Jersey, and I think God just hates it
tired: Batman could do more good by running charities than by fighting criminals
wired: Batman could save literally every other city on the planet simultaneously with the amount of effort and resources he’s pumped into Gotham, which is a lost cause, but this is his city damnit.

Wait I just realized Jason successfully (and of course. Lightheartedly) did to Duke what he was trying to do to Bruce at the end of utrh
Like obviously Jason didn’t genuinely freeze up and let Fake Joker get the drop on him in this training simulation he arranged this is Jason’s compulsive need to try to force everyone he knows to prove they really like him via murder of the Joker and it worked.
